1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purpose of reviewThe purpose of this review is to discuss recent advances in the field of cell therapy in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) of ischemic (iCMP) and nonischemic (dCMP) etiology, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and in advanced heart failure patients undergoing mechanical circulatory support (LVAD). RECENT

findingsIn HFrEF patients (iCMP and dCMP cohorts), autologous and/or allogeneic cell therapy was shown to improve myocardial performance, patients' functional capacity, and neurohumoral activation. In HFpEF patient population, the concept of cell therapy in novel and remains largely unexplored. However, initial data are very encouraging and suggest at least a similar benefit in improvements of myocardial performance (also diastolic function of the left ventricle), exercise capacity, and neurohumoral activation. Recently, cell therapy was explored in the sickest population of advanced heart failure patients undergoing LVAD support also showing a potential benefit in promoting myocardial reverse remodeling and recovery. In the past decade, several cell therapy-based clinical trials showed promising results in various chronic and advanced heart failure patient cohorts. Future cell treatment strategies should aim for more personalized therapeutic approaches by defining optimal stem cell type or their combination, dose, and delivery method for an individual patient adjusted for patient's age and stage/duration of heart failure.
